Perfect. Personnel, infrastrature, facilities and location are very good. We had a wonderful experience in our stay in La Playa Inn. We were in a road trip on the Hwy 1 route, and this hotel was one of the best experience during our journey. Very well located near to the pier and the turistic center. Congratulations.

Santa Barbara is a beautiful small city on the coast with mountains behind. Good weather, walkable main street. Nearby Montecito and Summerland are lovely too. But accomodations are expensive throughout the area.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in. The costs are high but there are extensive options for hotels and restaurants of all sorts. The scenery and beaches are top notch. A fun family area as well as a large variety of adult offerings.

Great place to visit. Lots to see and do within walking distance, plenty of bike rentals for further trips, entertainment for all ages. The Marine Center and MOXI were fun for kids and adults alike. McConnells Ice Cream is a great treat.

What an absolute gem of a hotel - perfect positioned for both the beach and for enjoying State Street, the hub of Santa Barbara. Check in was easy and Ben, who was on the desk went over and above explaining the hotel and especially the area of SB. The room was really clean, VERY comfortable and well appointed - with GREAT coffee too. Free bike hire was an added bonus, as was the pool area, the fire pit - to be honest it was perfect!
